The reason for the song being so intense is because this song is supposed to be played when lord Shiva does his tandav (a form of dance) , because lord Shiva is a god destruction, his tandav or dance has the ability to destroy the universe itself, ideally this tandav is performed when lord Shiva is angry beyond limit, after performing this tandav it is said that lord Shiva's third eye opens, indicating the end of reality as we know it. Yeah so pretty intense

[@spacefalcon6900]

In an interview Shanker mahadevan sir said that he put all of his heart and soul into this song because of his name The name Shanker is another name for lord Shiva And Mahadev is a nickname given to lord Shiva.

Shiva - Lord Shiva (Hindu God of Destruction), also personification of pure consciousness and bliss Tandav - Cosmic dance of Lord Shiva performed at the origin and end of creation Stotram - Hymn of praise Popular origin story: Ravan, an asura king and ardent worshipper of Lord Shiva wanted to lift the entire mount Kailasa (the abode of Lord Shiva) in northern Indian mountain range and carry it all the back to his kingdom in the south, so he could have Shiva with him. When he tried to lift the mountain, Lord Shiva put His foot on the mountain to test him, and Ravan's hands were crushed under it's increased weight. To please Lord Shiva, Ravan composed and sang this complicated Sanskrit hymn. Lord Shiva was pleased with Ravan's devotion and blessed him. You can easily find the English translation to this hymn on the internet.

It's a song written and composed by the Asura king Ravana in praise of lord Shiva. That's why it's considered one of the oldest songs in history(ofcourse there are many folklore and legends around this but almost all stories do admit, it the Ravana who composed it and it's old like really old and ancient, music always been an integral part of Indian culture, one the 4 vedas is dedicated to it)

[@Betelgeusewaitforit]

Before Ancient.. best estimate given by you.. Ravana was not just a King.. Demon is not really an analogue to Asura.. but the only worst act of Ravana was that he abducted Sita maa.. Other than that he was a devout, an individual of intellect of the highest order, brilliant composer, a poet, an ascetic and how do we translate Dashanand ? Even today his Kingdom is called Lanka.. but then we named it Sri Lanka (Sri !!!) a country today... Who wants to prove that Ramayana is history and zero myth.. ? It's damn simple..

This Stotra (song) was made by the demon king Raavan which glorifies Lord Shiva. Raavan once tried to lift Mount Kailash (Lord Shiva's abode), but got pinned under it when Lord Shiva pressed his big toe on the ground. That brought Raavan to his senses and to ask for forgiveness he composed this Stotra (song) and sang for a thousand years. That's when Lord Shiva forgave him and freed him from under Mount Kailash. . Also I would like you to react to 'Kanada Raja Pandharicha' by 'Mahesh Kale'

Shiv Tandav means Lord Shiva's dance in Sanskrit. It is always played in our school annual day functions, here in Kerala, as the pooja dance, which means the welcome dance or first performance of the Annual day cultural programme.

This song is something very unique. It can fill you with a load of intense energy and imbue confidence in yourself. As for information on Lord Shiva, Shiva is one of the Hindu Trinity gods alongside Lord Brahma and Lord Vishnu. He's the Destroyer while Lord Brahma is the creator and Lord Vishnu the Protector. You can also check out Vishnu Stotram. That'll be a great way to delve into the depths of Hinduism. Vishnu Stotram is much more on the calmer side than Shiva Stotram. I hope you consider my suggestion. And I love watching your videos. Keep doing the good job, your videos are very enjoyable. 👍🏼 Love from India ❤️🇮🇳

[@85gvsnraju]

You are correct about the intensity and the energy in the song: So yes this song is about Lord Shiva - Tandav = A dance while in a trance - in this case a dance in anger - Strotam = Source. So the is sung as a prayer to lord Shiva - when he is is dancing in anger . Its sung in sanskrit - almost 3000-4000 year old language - hence called the oldest song. Its a prayer - but sung to modernn music by a lot of artists - this is Shankar Mahadevan's version. The reason for the song being so intense is because this song is supposed to be played when lord Shiva does his angry dance .He is the lord of destruction, its said that at then end of this dance he opens his third eye - the eye between his eyebrows (representing the pituitary glands in our ancient texts) Shiva's third eye has the ability to destroy the universe itself. This tandav is performed when lord Shiva is very angry, after performing this tandav (dance) he opens his third eye opens, and ending everything he gaze lands upon. Ravana (the old king of Sri Lanka) sang this song when lord shiva was angry - and the song captures the emotions and thoughts passing through Ravana - as he watches lord shiva dance

Don't pause it atleast this type of song or sloke , first listing full with feeling then give your thoughts ❤

[@ShadowMonarchX555]

He has to do it for copyright, brother. And nothing's wrong with pausing it. He doesn't know those complexities of the religion.

[@saikatpatra7601]

Always get Goosebumps where heard this song 🥰

[@bharatithinks]

its a song of worship borne out of intense dedication and gratitude to the dances of creation and destruction performed by Lord Shiv. It feels intense because it embodies a vision of these infinite energies that are expended as the universe is created and destroyed again and again. The beat is very structured and classical, yet derived from primal and ancient universal sounds. Highest praise for the song comes from the supreme lord himself- it is said that Lord Shiv was so completely enthralled by the song that the devotee who was singing it (demon king Ravana) almost reached the lord's seat. The world- renowned symbolic statue of this dance is the dancing pose of Shiv i.e. statue of "Natraja".The dance is called 'tandav'.

[@priyatoshnayakarts3350]

Shiva is the Hindu god and this song is totally based on the Sanskrit language in praise of lord Shiva, which was written Back 10000 years ago and now it was again recreated by Shankar Mahadevan with his iconic music theme

[@suchitrachaudhary7755]

The beat of this song is that of Shiva’s percussion instrument - the Dumroo. Lord Shiva is said to have danced to destruction and creation on this beat - it carries kinetic and potential energy for simultaneous implosion and explosion!

Mahaprana deepam breathless song by Shankar Mahadevan

[@saikatpatra7601]

Shiv Tandav means Lord Shiva's dance , and when Lord Shiva's dance that means destroy in the whole universe . When Mata sati dead at that moment Lord Shiva's dance

[@KarmHeeDharmHai]

This song is not mythology. It is history. Many many people deny it or refuse to acknowledge that the history was real and not mere stories. SHIV TANDAV STOTRAM was sung by Ravan (‘demon kind of present day Sri Lanka) in utter and passionate devotion to Bhagwan Shiv/Mahadev. Thus the energy. He is listing all the qualities of Bhagwan Shiv in his devotion. Despite the 9 minute song at this pace, one of the lines specifically says that ”describing all your (Mahadev’s) qualities is not possible for an insignificant being like me(Ravan)” Sanskrit(also known as the Devine language) is known to have the auditory vibrations to have a very positive effect on the brain when heard if you allow it to. Even more so if you are able to sing it aloud. ANY Sanskrit song.

[@thehalfgemschannel7242]

Basically about Shiv, its pronounced as SHIV with a hard cut on V and not VA like Shiva Shiv isn't just a god or One of the gods He is THE GOD This stotram originates from when his greatest Devotee Ravan ( the villain of Ramayan) in his pride tried to lift up Kailash (shiv's residency mountain) to take him with him Shiv to humble and teach Ravan a lesson just put down a single toe finger on the mountain and Ravan's hands were crushed, in desperation and to apologise basically, he created this The Tandav Stotram, he sings this as his hands were crushed under the mountain praising Shiv, with just beautiful verses Shiv was pleased and lifted his finger off as Ravan had learnt his lesson

[@baibhabjitdas1056]

THIS STOTRAM WAS CREATED BY 🍁RAAVAN🔥.....THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO

[@AIartist12356]

This song is intense because it is written by Ravan, an Asura. Asura has not something which can be translated to English. The nearest word to traslate Asura to English is Demon. Shiva had no discrimination between good or bad God or Demon. He purely represents pure void. Someone who has won over all emotions. So he can be pleased by anyone who worship him with all his heart. Ravana was the best among Shiva's devotes. But when Shiva is with his counterpart, Shakti he's just like any human. Anything to his counterpart, he will burn down the world with his anger. That's how he is. He's God of all Gods and he's the first teacher (Adi Guru). He's purely a God, human and Demon by nature. He's the worst demon he's the best human, he's the best husband, he's the best God to his devotees.

[@Pedasus]

This strotram was written by a "Demon" named Ravana , who was a devotee of Lord Shiva, and the instrument beings played is a "Rudra Veena" which he invented and and is really hard to play, This song explains the aggressive form of shiva

[@The_original_one]

Why do u call him demon ? When he was a rakshas ? Demons do not exist in sanatan.

[@sn5847]

Bro.. this is an ancient hymn written , composed and sang instantly on rhythms (like a modern rap song) by one of the most knowledgeable and powerful person of ancient era to please his "isht"/ishwar (you will understand "God"). Still wonderful...

[@Suryanshi1984]

1) This Hymn (Stotra) is supposed to be Intense & agressive by Design... it is said in the ancient texts that when Lord Shiva does the "Tandav" (form of Dance) is the begining of the destruction of this cosmos.. 2) About the modern music# It doesn't matter what music is used, this Hymn has to follow the rhythm, pacing, tones. You can listen to mutiple versions by different singers the above will never change

[@1969abhi]

This is praise by Ravana to Lord Shiva... Lord Shiva's Tandav is a celestial dance, dance of destruction of Universe. It is oldest praise song may be 27000 years old.

[@mridulgoyal2321]

Hi brother i am proudly a sanatani and want to mention that it's not a song rather it's a divine chant written by dashanan(10 headed saint) called as ravan during his extreme meditation of lord Shiva which lasted for 1 lakh years in which he stood up on mount kailash for 1 lac years in dhyan of lord shiva Har har Mahadev

This is a encient Hindu hyms in sanskrit language from encient hindu text praising, describing god Shiva performing a intense ,vigorous Tandava dance when he got angry to see on the planet humanity is on its decline, declining moral ethical values, injustice and voilence reaches at its peak. Shiva performs Tandava dance to destroy the planet/universe so as to restore a begining of new age/era and evolution of life back again on the planet so humanity ,faith, morality ,justice can be be restored. This cycle of destruction and restoration of life (begining) of new era is cyclical and its a contineous process as per hindusim. Which is described here in this hyms(song)

[@dinakaraghebbar6695]

The language SANSKIT (the language used in most of Hindu hymn or prayers) itslef is one of the ancient language. You may also like to react to "Hara Hara Shambo" track As for Shankar Mahadevan, the name of SHIVA, is in his name itself as both Shankar and Mahadeva are other names of Lord Shiva (Hindu Gods n Godesses are worshipped in multiple names. If worshipped chanting thier 108 names its Ashtothara and chanting their 1000 names is Sahasranama... Sahasra is sanskrit word for thousand) Tomarrow and Day after Tomarrow (18th and 19th is festive time for India, with nation celebratig Lord Ganesha, the god with elephant face, festival).

The Shiv Tandav Stotram is Prapogated by Ravan(Biggest Devotee of God Shiva) More than 7000+ years ago according to scientific date of Ramayana but ij Hinduism is Much more elder aa this Sotram belongs to Tretayuga , Sharkar is born to sing Shiv tandav in kalyuga 🔥, Jai shree Ram 🕉️🚩, Har har Mahadev 🕉️🚩

[@srikanth51986]

Do you know who composed and sang it to one of the biggest and most evil King named Ravana? whenever you listen to this stotram there is a feeling of electricity running through your body and the essence of lord shiva.

[@vaibhavsharma84]

Rhythm of this song is prehistoric... Like god knows how old. Mahadevan has added music to it, but its not possible to change the rhythm of this song which is imbibed in the lyrics and sanskrit language itself.

[@swapnilmishra6148]

Fun fact- shankar mahadevan's first and last name both are Lord Shiva's name. And the translation is so difficult because every line in this song is actually a single complex word.

[@yathishk8529]

Shiva is one of the Trimurti in Hinduism. He thought Yoga and meditation to human beings, so he is known as Adiyogi. He thought 112 ways of enlightenment. The word Shiva means that's not, in simple words Nothingness. He is nothing but still everything. He lives in Cremation ground, doesn't like to wear costly clothes.

[@pacificpacific]

Shiv Tandava Stotram is a hymn written and sung by Raavan in praise of Lord Shiva. The Shiv Tandav Stotram represents the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva that eliminates all negative energies. The hymn includes 15 verses and each verse describes the fearless Shiva and his eternal beauty in great detail. It is in sanskrit and the pronounciation of each sylable is exact and perfect.

[@dinakaraghebbar6695]

We Hindus believe chanting OM NAMSH SHIVAIH will purify our souls. The way you were swaying your head hearing the chant OM NAMAH SHIVAIH would have definitely purified your sensivities filling you with positive energy.

[@mdragarg]

One of the possible originations behind this-- Ravaan was the king of demons hailing from Lanka (Present day Sri Lanka). Hee wwas a great and undettering devotee of Lord Shiva. Once, to see Shiva with his own eyes, he started to climb Mount Kailasha (the abode of Lord Shiva). Some historians rather say that he tried to lift the mountain instead. When Shiva realised that, he pressed his toes down on the mountain and trapped Raavan beneath it. Raavan, fesaring for his life, screamed this strota loudly, appeasing lord Shiva and finally finding freedom from under the mountain

[@kalajoshipura9437]

Shiv Tandav is a prayer for Lord Shiv. It is believed that Ravan,the villain in Ramayana composed this for praying Lord Shiva... to please Him,just before the war with Shree Ram.

[@poornima1481]

Ravana went to Himalayas for salvation, seeing his hard work, but knowing his life, Shiva decided to capture Ravana inside the mountain. This was way before abducting Sita. Ravana is actually much, much, more elder than Rama. So, as Shiva captured Ravana, Ravana could not bear the dance of Lord Shiva, at the same time, was awed, inspired the energy emitted from the dance. So Ravana wrote Shiva Thandava.

[@vrindawanagro]

Every single word required have a very deep meaning which can't possible to write in other words

[@mirandaahanthem6114]

It's intense cause Lord Shiva is the destroyer of the world. And he dance Tandav while doing so.

[@leelahillier5790]

I listen to this mantra every day. It’s beautiful. Close your eyes and feel the energy ❤

[@sanuc260]

This song is describing Shiva Tandava in the oldest language of the world SANSKRIT. Shiva, who is the God of destruction, got upset after the death of his wife SATI and started dancing the THE LAST DANCE which nearly caused the destruction of the world. Vishnu (Krishna) somehow stopped him after lots of efforts. This song describes the process. Written by Ravana (from Ramayana), 6000+ years ago. Music is added to it now.... It's NOT the oldest song RECORDED. it's the oldest SONG.

[@b.b.chengalvarayan2658]

It is to be sung by anyone who wishes to cleanse himself from all his sins and to get blessings of Shiva (Supreme Lord or The Nature, the Super power. Ravana is Great Brahamin Scholar, but failed for his weakness for women. He wrote this Shiv Tandav Stotram in praise of His Beloved God Maha Shiva.

[@TopicsofinterestEL]

History of the song: Raavan was half beast half human (Daitya clan--Rakshas creed) and he used various creative ways to do penance to God (as a way of giving oneself extreme pain to please God for our detachment from bodily pleasures). After that, he was on his flying vehicle (that he actually stole from his half brother Kuber) and came across Kailash which was blocking his way. He tried to lift the mountain but Lord Shiva noticed this and using mere force of his toe, the mountain fell on Raavan's arm, cutting it out. But to please Shiv ji, he took that arm, cut off one of his heads attaching it to one end of the hand and used his blood vessels as the strings to play it while singing this Shiv Tandav Stotram to Lord Shiva. It was very beautiful to hear and it praised the characters of Shiv (Here, the Destroyed form of God)

[@anantakhariar]

The song is a prayer to Lord Shiva, composed more than 15000 years back by Demon king Ravana to glorify Lord Shiva, the Lord of destruction. So energy in song is obvious. Ravana composed this song to save his own life, so that Lord Shiva will spare him. So intense devotion in the song is result of his intense time of need. To know who Ravana was, you must read Valmiki Ramayana. Regarding understanding the meaning of this song, there is no one in this world, who can understand all the meanings of this song. Lyrics available are only straight meaning.

[@geetanjalikharbanda2856]

Do listen to another version of Tandav from the album , Dancing with Shiva. It’s very powerful and exhilarating 🙏🏻

[@bineetgulati9]

Imagining that Shiv- Lord of destruction is dancing on this song while and just before the World is coming to end.

Dance is ordinaryl action of hands & Legs. Thaandavam is extraordinary movements of limbs ..... wider broader stretching of legs & hands...long & high jumps.
